Edward Teller is mainly famous as the "father of the hydrogen bomb". But he wasn't dumb. He was invited to speak in 1959 at a big party in New York for the 100th birthday of the oil industry - a party put on by the American Petroleum Institute. Over 300 government officials, economists, historians, scientists, and industry executives were there.
And this is what he said:
‘”Whenever you burn conventional fuel, you create carbon dioxide.... The carbon dioxide is invisible, it is transparent, you can’t smell it, it is not dangerous to health, so why should one worry about it?"
“Carbon dioxide has a strange property. It transmits visible light but it absorbs the infrared radiation which is emitted from the earth. Its presence in the atmosphere causes a greenhouse effect …. a temperature rise …. sufficient to melt the icecaps and submerge New York. All the coastal cities would be covered, and since a considerable percentage of the human race lives in coastal regions, I think that this chemical contamination is more serious than most people tend to believe.”

On its 100th birthday in 1959, Edward Teller warned the oil industry about global warming

Looking forward to next week's #Memory Studies Association conference in Prague.
I'm on a Day 3 panel called "Layers of American Memory" w Alison Landberg (George Mason), Christina Simko (Williams), and Jeffrey Olick (U. Virginia).
The title of my talk (something I've written about here) is: "America 250: The U.S. Semiquincentennial and Instrumental Uses of Historical Memory in an Era of Political Polarization."
Anyone else going? @histodons

The image features two individuals in formal attire, with one person placing a medal around the other's neck. The background includes a golden curtain and an American flag, suggesting a formal or ceremonial setting. The person on the left is smiling and adjusting the medal, while the person on the right has a more serious expression. Text overlays on the image read: "CONGRATULATING MY PLAYER ON CONQUERING MY DEADLY DUNGEON" and "THAT PLAYER ALSO BEING ME." The text implies a humorous connection between the formal event and a video game context.

secondo @Diego Roversi che invece è milanese è abbastanza dura da poterci tirare su i muri, e ha dentro i pezzetti grigi di cemento
